True to his Kentucky roots, Jason Carter pours all he has back into bluegrass. For thirty years, Carter has been the fiddle player for the Del McCoury Band, the most awarded group in bluegrass history. He has won three Grammy awards and has taken home five International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) awards for Fiddle Player of the Year, including 2018’s Best Bluegrass Album with the Travelin’ McCourys. As a fiddler, Carter has been featured on albums by Steve Earle, Ricky Skaggs, Dierks Bentley, Charlie Daniels, Vince Gill, Asleep at the Wheel and many more. On Carter’s solo album, ‘Lowdown Hoedown’, listeners may recognize instrumental contributions from such legends as Jerry Douglas or Sam Bush alongside vocals from young trailblazers like Sarah Jarosz or Billy Strings, with Carter singing lead.
The Shucks Brothers, based in Lincoln, Neb., will kick off the evening with some serious string tickling and great harmony vocals. They tip their hats to the great old bluegrass masters such as Bill Monroe and the Stanley Brothers, but they also feature country, swing and red-hot instrumentals. This group will surprise their audiences with dazzling improvisation, silly humor and a whole lot of fun.

Connect through the Entrepreneurial Mindset Dr. Samuel Nelson, Director of the Nebraska Center for Entrepreneurship, will guide participants through engaging discussions on innovation, problem-solving, and opportunity recognition. Unlike typical networking events, this breakfast facilitates structured small-group interactions where:
* Young professionals gain insights into applying entrepreneurial thinking in careers * Business leaders discover fresh perspectives that can drive innovation within their companies * Both groups build relationships that strengthen Nebraska's professional ecosystem Every individual registration also contributes a donation for a student, making this a free event for Nebraska's future talent. Each table at the event will pair four business leaders with four high-achieving Nebraska students, providing a unique opportunity for meaningful interactions and the exchange of valuable insights. Why this Matters The entrepreneurial mindset extends far beyond starting businesses—it's about creating change, identifying opportunities, and solving problems in any environment. By fostering these connections, we're not just sharing ideas. We're developing the collaborative foundation needed to keep Nebraska's talent engaged and invested in our state's future.
